Abstract
ACCORDING to an article in the Board of Trade Journal of May 26, 1945, the Board of Trade is to undertake, through the regional research subcommittees formed as adjuncts to the Distribution of Industry Committees, the collection and assembly, on a continuing basis, of a wide range of factual data required for distribution of industry purposes covering every locality in Britain. In making such surveys the Board of Trade will make the fullest use of information on industry already accumulated by the supply Ministries and by the Ministries of Labour and Town and Country Planning. It is also intended to take the fullest advantage of local knowledge by consultation with non-official bodies, whether universities, local authorities or industrial groups. By these means the Board of Trade should be made conversant with the industrial problems of all parts of the country and equipped to provide the industrial world with an information service to help individual firms in making decisions on the location of new factories.
